Frankie Primo's +39 - Buffalo

I and my daughter have eaten here today and the food was absolutely delicious. the best pasta fagiole suppe I've ever had! the food was delicious and the service was fantastic. our beautiful waitress noelle was so friendly and made our visit to buffalo even better. kudos for authentic Italian cuisine!

Was in downtown Buffalo on a Saturday at noon and headed off to one of my favorite places for first time since pandemic began. But alas, it was closed, only open for Sunday brunch. As I stood and contemplated crying, the hotel concierge suggested Frankie Primo's. I will be eternally grateful. It was fantastic. Sat at a window table (my absolute favorite spot wherever I go), ordered a most delicious **** Mary which came garnished with a stuffed olive, lemon and hot pepper stuffed with prosciutto and cheese. It was amazing. There were brunch and entree specials so numerous, it took me quite a while to decide. I finally chose a white pizza with mushrooms, spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. Before that came out I was given warm Italian bread and garlic oil. It was as if I'd died and gone to bread heaven. I'm a good eater, but after the bread organic, I had to box half my pizza. The wonderful waitress who had catered to our every whim and chatted with us so friendly that i felt like a regular even tho it was my first (but far from last) visit, asked if I was interested in dessert. I was so full, but I asked her to tell me about it anyway. After listening to all the tempting options, I had to surrender to her description of a housemate Carmel pudding they called a Budino. Two spoons please. This was a wise choice. I was surprised at how light it was, I was expecting heavy, but I was pleasantly surprised at the light creaminess delivered. And it came with an unexpected perk of two shots of limoncello and sesame cookies. I'm not a big sesame lover, nor do I normally do shots. I'd never had limoncello before. I'll be headed out to buy a bottle soon. It was a lovely sipping desertif. I was so happy I tried the sesame cookie. It was amazing. I will be going back to this gem of a place soon. And often.

Stopped in for lunch. Thankfully it was a bye week for the Bills so the place was not jamming. I have heard it gets packed early on game days. If you like authentic Italian flavors this is a great place for you. Every employee in the place greeted us and their positivity felt genuine and was infectious. I had the chicken and prosciutto panini. Just WOW. That was delicious. I look forward to coming back to try more things on the menu.

The place was packed for the dental convention and they still seated and served like 23 of us with efficiency. The food is amazing if not enormous portions, but no one complained. The staff was obviously in the weeds but you didn't see it on anyone's face. Our servers and server assistants were fantastic. Answered any and all questions about menu items etc. Definitely worth a try if you haven't been!!!

All around great spot! Amazing lunch and dinner food, great cocktails, and outstanding dessert. The lemon mascarpone cake was HEAVENLY. I would highly recommend this to anyone! The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars was because of the service. The staff was very friendly, but incredibly slow. They barely came to check on our table and it took almost 30 minutes to get a glass of water and some bread. Other than that, I recommend Frankie Primo’s if you have time to wake around!
